Back to original question,

Could it be Pfeiffera ianthole, or whatever that is called now?

Just a guess but that was my first thought when I saw the picture.

I grew some Pfeiffera ianthothele ssp. floccosa from seed a while back, and from memory, this does look a somewhat reasonable match, although my plants were a bit spinier - which might be cultivation difference, or just that ssp.
